Second baseman Taylor Lindsey is one of four prospects the Padres received in the Huston Street trade.

Taylor Lindsey, 2B

Ranked 93rd in Baseball America’s preseason top 100, Lindsey was the Angels’ No. 1 prospect. A steady, if unspectacular, player whom the Angels drafted 37th overall in 2010, Lindsey advanced to Triple-A this season on the strength of his hitting. Despite an unorthodox left-handed swing, the 22-year-old doesn’t strike out much, showing a knack for contact and solid pop. For Salt Lake this year, he hit .247 with eight home runs, 30 RBIs and seven steals. He missed three weeks in June because of concussion-like symptoms and had returned to hit .290 in 20 games. Defensively and on the basepaths, he profiles as an average contributor. The all-around package is a nice get for the Padres, who needed middle infield depth. With Chase Headley likely on his way out of San Diego, the Padres could soon move Jedd Gyorko to third base. While Lindsey will report to Triple-A El Paso, he could become a big-league option at second in the near future.

Jose Rondon, SS

Rondon was the Angels’ No. 2 prospect, according to Baseball America’s midseason rankings. The 20-year-old Venezuelan native’s stock has risen this year, with an appearance at last week’s Futures Game and a .327/.362/.418 batting line at high Single-A Inland Empire. One of the youngest players in the California League, Rondon has no power to speak of, but he does have a line-drive stroke and an advanced approach. In the Rookie-level Pioneer League last year, he was the fifth-toughest player to strike out. Rondon has decent quickness and good actions in the field, though some have questioned if he will eventually be better suited as a second baseman or utility infielder. For now, he will report to high Single-A Lake Elsinore, where he’ll remain one of the youngest shortstops in the California League.

R.J. Alvarez, RHP

Of the four players the Padres received, the 23-year-old Alvarez could make the most immediate impact. The Angels’ third-round draft pick in 2012, the Florida Atlantic product has the repertoire of a future closer: a mid-to-upper 90s fastball and a power slider. Alvarez dominated with Double-A Arkansas this season, allowing just two runs (one earned) in 21 appearances. He recorded a 0.33 ERA and struck out 38 in 27 innings. As with most young pitchers, command will be a challenge; in 103 career innings, Alvarez has issued 48 walks. While Alvarez has smoothed out his high-effort delivery, he remains an injury risk, having already missed six weeks this season with an elbow injury. Still, the potential is clear. Alvarez, who was the Angels’ No. 4 prospect, will report to Double-A San Antonio. He could vie for innings in San Diego as early as September.

Elliot Morris, RHP

Morris, 22, underwent Tommy John surgery while at Pierce (Wash.), but following his fourth-round selection last year had advanced quickly in an Angels system light on arms. He opened this season with low Single-A Burlington, posted a 2.25 ERA in 40 innings, then advanced to Inland Empire, where he went 3-3 with a 4.17 ERA in nine starts. Morris has a low-90s fastball that can touch 96, but his average secondary offerings may render him a better fit for the bullpen.
